Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida Seeks Nominations for Sapphire Award Recognizing Community Health Excellence

The Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida's Sapphire Award is designed to recognize and promote programs that have demonstrated excellence and impact in improving the health-related outcomes of Florida's at-risk populations and communities. The award's recognition of effective initiatives is meant to promote greater and more lasting support for improved services and systems that can be sustained over time.

Strategies that build on community assets, enhance organizational capacity, foster systemic change, and/or lead to lasting policy changes that improve health will be especially sought after for the award.

The award recognizes and awards community health programs that have demonstrated success and high merit. It is not a grant program. Nominations should not be based on the idea of raising funds without regard to recognizing demonstrated success.

Eligible nominees are community-health nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations and units of government based in Florida. The executive director and three persons familiar with the organization are required to nominate the organization for the award.

The program will award up to three nonprofit organizations a maximum of $120,000 each.
